Yesterday morning I had a stopped up sewer main at my house. It caused a backup that went over the top of the shower pan and ran sewer water over some of my canvas and leather trunk cases and my Americases. They were stacked in shelves in the old boiler room below the shower.

So I wiped the wet areas down with the Chlorox wipes and dried them off with paper towels. I also sprinkled baking soda over the wet areas. The sewer water was both inside and out of some of the cases. After everything dried I vacuumed the baking soda out of and off the cases.

Now I am worried about putting guns in those cases that had the (diluted) chlorine and baking soda inside them. If I ever knew enough chemistry to predict the outcome I have forgotten it.

Best,

Mike
